Glucamate LT

Glucamate LT (PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Trioleate and Propylene Glycol and Water) is an exceptional thickening agent perfect for surfactant-based systems, including shampoos, shower gels, and various liquid cleansers. Derived from natural and renewable resources, this ingredient features a stabilized methyl glucoside backbone, lending it a unique oleate chemistry that enhances both sensory qualities and provides a light, emollient afterfeel. The innovative three-dimensional structure of Glucamate LT interacts effectively with surfactants, forming a complex network that allows for efficient thickening, and it does so with less water, resulting in a luxurious application that "breaks" easily during use. Notably, Glucamate LT can be cold-processed without the need for heat, making it incredibly user-friendly. This versatile ingredient excels in a pH range between 5.0 and 9.0 and shows excellent compatibility with various surfactants, making it ideal for an array of applications such as body washes, mild shampoos, facial cleansers, and much more, while providing stability and enhancing foam retention.
